CAS(E) this Sketch Guest Designer

Hi Friends! Today I'm the Guest Designer at CAS(E) this sketch! Unfortunately, I have been very sick since Christmas. I have had three attacks that were unbearable. I went to the doctor yesterday and had an Ultrasound and it's my Gallbladder. I have stones and will have to have surgery. I didn't get my cards to Chrissy in time (yesterday,) was in horrible pain. I was a bit better today but sleeping alot and the heating pad is my best friend! Anyway , that's it for now....going back to bed :-(. Thanks Chrissy, I'm so honored!!

This technique is done by expermenting! I used a brayer and paint on an embossing folder. You don't run the embossing folder thru any machines, you just brayer the paint onto the folder put the paper inside and run your fingers over the folder to spread the paint. I added three different colors of paint each time. I think I really like this technique!

Charlene, So very sad to hear you are having gallstones. I've been told this is EX-tremely painful and that one is nauseated too. I hope you can get this handled super quick. (I had my g/b removed, but didn't have stones). Good luck. Loved your bright fun card. Sounds like a fun technique, and one I'd like to try. It sure made a pretty pattern and very colorful. Best wishes to feel much better really soon. TFS & Hugs

Wow, Char! I love the background with this awesome technique...how fun! I must give it a try! Your cards are so beautiful! Big congrats on your guest design spot! And, so sorry to hear you've been having gall bladder issues! Hope you get well soon! Take care, hugs!:-)

Your cards are both gorgeous, Char....Congrats on being the Guest designer!!!! I sooo understand your pain...I had mine out almost 10 years ago...surgery made me a new woman!!! I hope you surgery goes well and you are up and about soom!!!!

I hope you are feeling better soon, Char. My Mom had gallstones and I witnessed the pain she went through. I hope you are able to get them taken care of quickly. Your cards are gorgeous!! I love the designs and the technique you used!! So beautiful!! Congrats on your GD spot!! Feel better soon :)

Oh I am so sorry you have been in so much pain! My husband had his gall bladder out about a year ago and he's a new man! I hope you feel better soon and that your surgery goes well. both of your cards are just stunning! Saw them on Pinterest this morning and loved them! Fabulous!!

Oh Char I'm so very sorry to hear about your illness ... I do know how very painful that is ... I really hope that it can be sorted for you sooner rather than later ... Congrats on your Design spot ... Your cards as always are beautiful and so unique ... Sending gentle hugs your way my friend

Oh, Char, I'm so sorry! I have no idea but can only imagine. Take care of yourself, love, and rest up. Your cards today are beautiful! I love how different they are in still keeping with the sketch! Congrats on your guest DT gig!

Oooh, I'm so, so sorry to hear you've been feeling terrible for all this time, my friend! Wishing you a super quick surgery date so that you can start to feel better. Hugs to you!LOVE your cards! What a cool technique with the embossing folder, brayer, and paint. I totally want to try that. LOVE those flowers, too! Just stunning!

Sorry to hear about your gall bladder problems as I will be keeping you in prayer.I was wondering if the top part of the card was cut and then popped up with dots etc. as it looks like two separate pieces. I can't wait to try this technique. Thanks fro any help that you can give me.

Oh, Char, I know your pain! I suffered with gallstones and finally removed my gallbladder laparoscopically. I hope you can find some relief, either surgically, or ask your doctor for a muscle relaxant (shot) that should help. I'm glad you were able to share your gorgeous takes on the sketch! Take care of yourself!

Hi Char! So sorry you've not been feeling well... it surely does not show here, I must say! Just beautiful creations - I think I love that embossing folder technique, too! So happy you joined us this week!=] Michele

Beautiful cards, Char! It's wonderful to have you as our guest this week. I hope you are back to full health very soon. (Two of my friends had their gallbladders removed just two weeks ago. It seems to be a common problem at the moment! And a very painful one!)
